Harry Reid vows to kill it.

Can't embarrass the smartest man in the room.

FRom the report I heard, the two Republicans who voted against it felt that the bill did not go far enough.

This rush to enact this bill usually proves to be wrong. Why should we turn away refugees who have themselves been terrorized by Assad and ISIL? Aren't we a country with values that comes to the aid of the persecuted? Shouldn't we show the refugees, Muslims and the world that we care? Shouldnt this be an example of the greatness of our country?

Don't we have more to fear from those who may enter the country with a passport or visa? Don't we have to fear radicalize individuals in this country? Should we put barbed wire around the Statute of Liberty?

In the past Catholics weren't welcomed, nor Irish, nor Italian or Jews. FEAR is not the answer, kindness, generosity is.

not at the expense of our citizens. Honestly, with how pissed off Putin is and what the Russians are doing to Syria, there may not be anyone left in a few weeks.. This may all be a moot point..

Welcome them AFTER proper vetting. The maniacs don't need us to be lax.

The lunacy and PCness of today's Left knows no bounds.
No better evidence

 

[DyingOnPrinciple]

Can any conservative explain what is wrong with our current vetting process for refugees?

Not a conservative, but I think it's nothing but FEAR!

is the fbi director a conservative?

 

[DyingOnPrinciple]

Not sure why it matters?

"Comey told the officials, adding that the FBI believes it has an effective process with intelligence and other agencies to conduct vetting of refugees."

"Comey told the officials, adding that the FBI believes it has an effective process with intelligence and other agencies to conduct vetting of refugees."

“My concern there is there are certain gaps ... in the data available to us,” Comey said.

“There is risk associated of bringing anybody in from the outside, but specifically from a conflict zone like that,” he added.

“There is no such thing as a no-risk enterprise and there are deficits that we face.”

In particular, the lack of solid on-the-ground intelligence assets in Syria has clouded the U.S.’s ability to crosscheck the backgrounds of every refugee hoping to come to the U.S., Comey and other national security officials told the Senate panel.

“The intelligence that we have of this particular conflict zone is not as rich as we would like it to be,” said Nicholas Rasmussen, the head of the National Counterterrorism Center. “We’ve got a much more streamlined and effective system to make sure that all of our intelligence holdings are brought to bear as these decisions are made, but you can only review against what you have.”

Are we looking at everyone's quotes now or just the director of the FBI? Nothing he said indicates there is a problem.

Good idea....not only are there gaps there really is no vetting in the true sense..

A pause will do NO harm....except to the feelings of the PCLoon

 

[DyingOnPrinciple]

You keep saying there is no vetting, but you cannot even explain the current process.

Let's start with basics. How long does it currently take for a refugee to be granted access to the United States?
